    I really don't understand why they choose Apple's iOS over android! Some sources, which I am not allowed to reveal have clearly shown, that iOS has no future, and Apple is for sure doomed! ;-)

    Seen this video a hundred times, and it still gives me laughs! Sometimes, I hope they keep chair throwing monkey boy for many years to come.

They don't want small government - unless that means just cutting out the parts they're not selling to / providing for. And as far as pro business goes - they're all in it for themselves.



    So go watch some more fox news so you can be told what to hate tomorrow.

    You (obviously don't) realize Cheney retired from Halliburton and sold all of his stock almost 12 years ago?

    That's up to each and every corporation to adopt or not.



    This is true. I'm sure there are many other dodgy enterprises which make use of Apple products as well.

    I was going to say 1/3 of the budget goes for defense, 1/3 for entitlements such as social security and medicare, and 1/3 for everything else.



    Nevermind - entitlements are now 50%, Defense 1/4 and everything else 1/4: http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/...n_0010#usgs302



    Lovely. Our capsizing is happening faster than predicted.

    Shooting the messenger rather than the message just makes you look like you don't have an intelligent point to contribute.



    And it's pretty lame. Cheap and easy, but lame all the same.

    LOL... "My brand new BBM is broken. It was working fine yesterday before I dropped in that bucket of drain opener."

    I don't understand why this gets the red breaking news color. Big companies move to iPhones and iPads all the time. Maybe a company moving 100,000 devices would be slightly newsworthy, but this doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

    At least slapppy or whatever their name is doesn't sail under false flags, unlike some other hypocritical people here who bash Apple, yet still use Apple products.

    Agreed, reading today that Apple's iPhone division alone is worth double all Microsoft's divisions combined is starting to make news like this seem like reporting rain is wet. Why wouldn't large companies want the best?



    BTW the rest of Apple minus the iPhone is also worth more than double what all of Microsoft is worth too

    Is that as funny as yours was?!





    You honestly have no idea about Halliburton.....All you know is that bull that Michael Moore has peddled and liberals have eaten up for years. Too bad no other multinational corporation was able to provide any services for troops or volunteered.



    Halliburton is a great company with great leadership and great employees. Too bad liberals criticize them, while drinking four dollar lattes, for having a sound business model and true leadership. Obama could learn something from Mr. Lesar. They provide a service and if you would like, you can stop using that product they help produce and boycott their customers. Doubtful though it would really do anything.



    Good for both Apple and Halliburton. Having first hand experience, Halliburton employees, they hated the corporate BlackBerry. Many of them carried the BlackBerry and a personal iPhone.
